How could Zhou Shikang, who had always been pampered and praised by his family, and who had never been spoken harshly to, endure the humiliation of being pointed at and blamed? Moreover, he felt that he was innocent.
Zhou Shikang replied to the secretary of Han Village, "Hey, be careful with your words. Don't take advantage of your age and experience to act like a judge.
It's still to be determined whether I have anything to do with this fire. Please be careful with your attitude when you speak. I'm not your prisoner, nor your son. You have no right to accuse me.
Unless you can be sure that the fire was caused by the kerosene lamp, and you can be sure that no one went to the kitchen after I left, and you can definitely provide sufficient evidence to identify me, and the fire is related to me.
Otherwise, please speak more politely."
The village party secretary said: "Even if I don't have any solid evidence, you were the last one to leave the kitchen. You are not sure whether the lights were turned off, so you are not unrelated to this fire.
Unless you can find new evidence that the fire was not caused by you not turning off the lights.

I personally believe that if Comrade Zhou Shikang had not moved the kerosene lamp before leaving, the location where it was placed would not have caused a fire.
The firewood was piled on the south side, and the kerosene lamp was placed on the north side. I clearly remember that there were no flammable objects around the kerosene lamp.
The village party secretary glanced at Zhang Chaoyang and asked, "Are you so sure?"
Zhang Chaoyang continued, "I'm absolutely sure. The wind you brought into the kitchen just happened to extinguish the light. I observed it when I lit the light."
Wen Wan also stood up and said, "I can testify to this, because even with the kerosene lamp on, the kitchen was still quite dim. I even turned around to take a look at the kerosene lamp, wondering if I could make it brighter.
